Abacomancy
Abacomancy interprets patterns or clusters recognised in dust, sand or other fine materials.
How to approach it
A reading begins by recognising a sign and relating it to a question. Describe the observation first, then explore its associations: the image opens a reflection rather than imposing a conclusion.
An important distinction
The term is loosely standardised and should not automatically be equated with rule-based geomantic figures.
An example to explore
A drawing of scattered dots might suggest dispersed effort. This is a reflection prompt, not a fixed traditional code.
Taking the idea further
To explore further, compare the related concepts and note differences in material, procedure and interpretation. If you open a related tool, read its own rules; sharing a symbol does not mean carrying out the same practice.
